T3101? forming part of Letters Patent No. 676,560, dated. June 18, 1901.

Application filed September 19, 1900. Serial No. 80,491. (No modcll) .Toall 1071/0722 it may concern:

Be itknown thatl, DAVIDIM.JACO1iS,fl.Citlzen of the United States, and aresident of New York city, in the county and. State of New York, have invented certain new and use ful Improvements in Display-Racks for "lossor Similar Articles, of which the following is a specification. I

My invention relates to display-racks for ties or similar articles.

It has for its object to provide new and improved supports for tiesorsiinilarariiclos simple in construction, readily adjustable, andadapted to .hold and display the ties or other articles to advantage andto permit the with drawal of one or more of the ties or other artipicsfrom certain apertures or compartments without displacing the other tiesfrom proper position therein.

t consists of the novel devices herein shown and described.

n the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, and in which similarreference figures represent corresponding parts, .i have shown myimproved device in its preferred form, andi will now proceed to describethe same.

Figure l is a perspective view of a displayrack involving-myinvention.Figs 2, 8, and 4 are views of modified forms, and Fig. 5 is a Viewshowing a modified form of comparttiguous ties went.

My improved device involves a rack l, which may he made by perforating aplate to form a series oi. preferably nearly rectangular apertures orcompartments 2, four sides by the material comprising the plate andpreferably completely closcd,so that each compartment has a floor 3,side walls 4- 4-, and a roof 5.

6 6 represent the ties. Only one shown in each compartment in Fig. 1, itbeing understood that any'suitahle number of ties 6 may he placed oneover the other in. a corn partznen t. partmcnt are so arrangedthat whenties of the form shown are held in any compartment thewithdrawal of onewill not withdraw con? by friction, since thefwidened part 7 will strikethe side walls and offer is The bounding walls of the comsistanceexceeding pull. drawn without especial care and yet without withdrawingothers, and whatever the form ol the tie or of any or a great variety ofarticles which may be similarly displayed the thumb and finger whileloosely holding the free-end. portion of any selected article may hequickly moved to the rack and then separated, thus pressing those abovethe selected one against the upper wall of the aperture and those belowit against the lower wail, thereby leaving the selected article entirelyfree, while positively holding all the rest. It is clear that many diiierent articles may be passed around the comparatively nar *ow portionsof the plate bounding one aperture, whereby they may readily be made tosimulate fiowers or to take other ornamental forms.

1 preferably provide a support for the displayrack, which may he of anysuitable form or construction. i prefer, however, the form any possiblefrictional It follows that any tie may be withshown in Fig. l, whichconsists of arms 8 8,

by cross-pieces 13 u pe a standard 14, on which standard said circularrack may he pivotal] y turned. The form of rack may be varied asdesired. v

I prefer a rectangular shape for the con1- partuients, although anysuitable shape may he employed. For cxanipie,-in Fig. 5 I have shown-thecompartments as elliptical in shape.

What i claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

r 1. in a display-rack for necklies orsiinilar articles, the combinationwith a suitable support, of an approximately vertical plate carried bythe support and provided with a se- In Fig". 1- the rack is, shown ascircular or ring-shaped, supported ,ron

of articles above and ries of adjacent apertures bounded on .all foursides by the material of the plate and each adapted to receive aplurality of articles to be exhibited whereby the articles or massesbelow a selected one may be pressed against the corresponding sides ofthe aperture, leaving the given article free to be Withdrawn withoutmaterially displacing any other.

2. In a display-rack for neckties and the like, the combination With avertical supporting-rod, of a whcel like structure revolubly supportedat its center by said rod and having in its approximately vertical rim aseries of adjacent apertures each atsome distance from the platesmargins and each adapted to receive a plurality of the articles to bedisplayed; whereby any aperture may be brought to convenient position'by rotation and the ties above and below a selected one may be pressedoppositely against the corresponding sides of the aperture and thus beheld secure against material displacement while the intermediate one isiithdrawn.

3. In a display-rack for neckties and the like, the combination with asuitable support, of a plate revolubly carried in edgewise position bysaid support and provided with a series of adjacent apertures eachhaving a boundary wall on all four sides and each adapted to receive aplurality of ties, whereby the plate being swung into convenientposition a part of the ties in any aperture may be pressed against theupper side ofthe aperture and apart against the lonfer side, leaving anyintermediate tie free.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

DAVID M. JACOBS.
